In fact, Xiao Chen's walking speed was not very fast. He was just moving forward at a normal pace, but because of his strength at the peak of the 6th level of the Profound Ascension Stage, every step he took was equivalent to several steps of a low-level cultivator or cultivator, sometimes even dozens of steps. Therefore, the distance between him and his pursuers was gradually widening.
As he walked, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that his surroundings had become a little quiet. Looking back, he found that Hong Zhu was chasing after him with puffed cheeks and panting heavily, but she was unwilling to call out to him.
Xiao Chen could not help but shake his head and smile. He stopped and waited for Hong Zhu to catch up to him. Reaching out, he directly picked her up and continued to walk at the same pace as before.
"Humph! At least you still have a little conscience! " Hong Zhu pouted and knocked on Xiao Chen's chest, as he habitually began to tease him, "Little brother Xiao Chen, since you like to walk so much, you might as well become my mount! In the future, if Big Sister goes out, how about I ride you? "
Being held in Xiao Chen's arms and smelling Xiao Chen's strong arms and masculine scent, Hong Zhu's heart palpitated. The unhappiness of being left behind by Xiao Chen gradually faded away, and what followed was an inexplicable sense of excitement.
"Ride me … as a means of transportation …"
Hearing Hong Zhu's slightly ambiguous words, Xiao Chen almost choked. His body subconsciously trembled, not knowing how to answer, so he simply pretended that he did not hear it and picked up Hong Zhu as he quickened his pace.
"Little brother Xiao Chen, are we still being followed? Do you know who it is? "Seeing that his teasing had failed, Hong Zhu also put away his playful thoughts and asked in a low voice with a slightly solemn expression.
Looking behind them through the crook of Xiao Chen's arm, Hong Zhu found that there was indeed a red object faintly discernible in the grass behind them, but because it was too far away, he could not clearly see what it was.
"Yes, there are a total of two groups of people following us. One of them should be Qin Taotian and his subordinates, but I've already shaken them off. The other group only has one person. It's a man in red. I reckon he's sent by the Zhao Clan to seek revenge," Xiao Chen analyzed logically.
Actually, this analysis was also very simple. Because after coming to the cultivation world, he only had conflicts with Zhao Wendeng. Plus, the ones with some strength in Swallow Forest Town were the Zhao Family and Qin Family, so as long as there weren't any special circumstances, there was only this possibility.
"Little Brother Xiao Chen, actually, I've always had a question." Hong Zhu paused for a moment, then asked with a strange look on his face, "Why do I feel like I can't see through you anymore? Ever since we left Swallow Forest Town, I've always been following behind you. I remember very clearly that you didn't even turn around to give us a glance. How did you know that the ones following us were Qin Taotian and a red-clothed man? Could it be that you have some kind of superpower? "
"Uh … I didn't know at first either. It's just that when I turned around to carry you just now, I accidentally saw them." Xiao Chen's expression did not change as he casually made up a story.
"Really? But I also turned around to look just now, why didn't I see anything? "Hong Zhu naturally did not believe Xiao Chen's nonsense, and blurted out a question in reply.
Hong Zhu had a faint feeling that Xiao Chen seemed to be inextricably linked with this cultivation world, but he could not make heads or tails of it for a moment. He also did not know where this feeling of his came from.
"Maybe it's because both of my eyes have 2.0 points of vision, so I can see more clearly!" As Xiao Chen spoke without thinking, he silently calculated the distance between himself and the red-clothed man in his heart.
After walking a few more steps, Xiao Chen felt that it was about time. Soon after, he leaped up and quickly dodged into the underbrush at the side.
"Tch, I don't believe … Aiya!" Hong Zhu curled his lips and was just about to open his mouth to refute when he felt a blade of grass gently brushing past his cheek. Just as he cried out in alarm, his body was immediately covered by the underbrush.
After hiding in the underbrush, Xiao Chen still tightly hugged Hong Zhu in his arms, and then casually arranged a camouflage spell. Since he did not know whether the red-clothed man had other helpers or not, Xiao Chen decided to observe for a while before making his move for the sake of caution.
"Hee hee, Little Brother Xiao Chen, don't tell me you're thinking of taking advantage of the fact that Mengying and Tang Tang aren't here to push this big sister down?" Hong Zhu came back to her senses and found Xiao Chen's posture. She could not help but smile coquettishly, and whispered in his ear with a sexy and charming voice, "Moreover, you actually chose to do it in the wild. I didn't expect that although you look so obedient and well-behaved, you're actually quite interesting!"
"Shh — don't talk, that man is coming!" Xiao Chen frowned slightly and pressed his index finger against Hong Zhu's soft and moist lips, wanting to stop her from talking.
However, as soon as he pressed his finger, Xiao Chen immediately felt his fingertip slip, and his entire finger was suddenly wrapped by something warm, as if something nimble was constantly teasing his index finger.
Xiao Chen could not help but shiver. When he looked down, he found that Hong Zhu had his index finger in her mouth, and was even slowly licking his fingertip with her tongue. The way she looked at Xiao Chen was exuding a strong sense of seduction, and the tips of her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes were filled with endless amorous feelings. Her finger was also gently caressing Xiao Chen's pectoral muscles and biceps.
Xiao Chen was really helpless against this little demoness, Hong Zhu. What kind of situation was this, and yet she still had the mood to tease him?
Glaring at Hong Zhu in annoyance, Xiao Chen was about to withdraw his finger, when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from afar!
Xiao Chen craned his neck to look, and to his surprise, the person running towards him was the man in red who had been following closely behind him!
"What the hell! Where did that brat run off to with that girl? Don't tell me that he suddenly got excited and hid in the woods to have some wild sex? " The man in red searched the surrounding area for a long time, but did not find Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu, who were very close to him. He could not help but angrily curse, "I clearly saw them burrow into the bushes, so why can't I even see their shadows now? Could it be that I, your father, was mistaken? "
Xiao Chen quietly waited for a while, and after confirming that there were no signs of anyone else besides Qin Taotian's group behind the man in red, he felt relieved. He immediately canceled the camouflage, stood up with Hong Zhu in his arms, and sneered, "Hey! What are you looking for? This Young Master is right here! I didn't think that you would actually be blind despite having such a large pair of eyes! "
"Who's there?!" The man in red with very large eyes was so frightened by the sudden voice that he stumbled back a few steps. After that, he came to his senses and immediately turned around. He stared with his large eyes, and discovered that Xiao Chen was leisurely standing there with Hong Zhu in his arms, and was looking at him with a faint smile on his face.
